About the event

We hope to create a yoga community for LGBTQ+ folks, including trans, non-binary and gender diverse people, to enjoy group practice and connect with others. Our classes will focus on finding some time for you, away from judgement or comparisons. We invite you to take some time to notice how you feel and move in anyway that feels right for you, with options to connect with your breath. We encourage choice in your practice and there are never any expectations on how you practice that day.

The classes will be run by various members of our teaching team, usually with one lead teacher and one supporting.

Open to all levels of experience. We will have around a 60 minute movement and meditation practice, finishing around 11am, followed by some time for a tea and chat. Group size will be up to 12 people.

If you are practicing without a chair you should be able to get yourself up and down from the floor, otherwise we suggest using a chair (this can be used for some or all of your practice). Please let us know in advance if you would like to practice on a chair so the teacher can be prepared. If you are unsure if class will meet your access needs, or if you have any other questions about the practice, please get in touch .

Pricing

We offer tiered ticket options to help make our classes as financially accessible as possible. Please pay what you are able - something that isn’t an overstretch for you, but that helps keep our sliding scale sustainable so we can continue offering these classes.

Here’s a guide to help you choose:

Free ticket: Please select this if you would not otherwise be able to attend a paid class. For example, if you are unwaged, have no financial resources, or are navigating the immigration system. See below for further terms and conditions for these tickets.

Low income ticket: Please choose this if you are on a low income or receiving financial support (e.g. universal credit, disability benefits or similar)

General admission ticket: Please choose this if you can comfortably meet your basic needs (e.g. rent, bills, food) and have some expendable income.

Pay it forward ticket: Please choose this if you can comfortably meet your needs and would like to help cover the cost for someone who otherwise couldn’t attend.

Your donation supports our community teachers and helps cover venue hire so we can continue offering these inclusive spaces.

Refunds

Refunds are eligible up to 24 hours before class start time - we will struggle to fill your space with short notice. If you are unable to make a class and are willing to offer your ticket to someone else please feel free to email us or share on our Whatsapp Community.

Free ticket policy

Three free tickets are available for every class, generously sponsored by the National Lottery Community Fund. These free tickets are intended to be used by anyone for whom the cost of a paid ticket is too high a barrier to accessing the class.

We anticipate that these tickets will be popular so we ask that you are respectful of the intention of these. If you find yourself no longer able to attend a session, please still cancel your free ticket through Eventbrite as this allows someone else to use the space instead. Our cancellation policy remains 24 hours for free tickets. If you hold a free ticket and cancel within 24 hours of class or do not show up to class more than twice, we will send you a reminder message of our free ticket policy. If you cancel or no show three times, we will unfortunately not be able to support you with free tickets any further. Thank you for your understanding!

About the venue

The sessions will usually be held in the upstairs studio of the Salisbury Centre on Salisbury Road. There are bus links 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 14, 29, 30, 31, 33, 37, 47, 49, 51 close to the centre (5 mins walk). There is some paid on street parking around the studio on Blacket Avenue. Please aim to arrive 5-10 minutes before class starts.

The studio is situated on the first floor up stairs with a handrail and unfortunately at the moment there is no lift (coming soon). Occasionally we are in the art room which is situated on the ground floor and is wheelchair accessible. There is a printed schedule on the front door which will say which room we are in. Please send us an email before hand if you want to confirm before attending.

There are all gender toilets available throughout the building on the ground floor and one wheelchair accesible toilet.

When arriving at the building, the front door is locked so please press the doorbell for the studio (or art room) and someone will welcome you in and direct you to the space.
